Gibbs energy
« on: September 27, 2013, 05:39:42 PM »
A gas follows the equation of state: P(V-B)/RT = 1, where b = 3.2 x 10^-1 L/mol. What is the Gibbs energy in joules for isothermally compressing a mole of this gas from 1.00 to 10.00 atm at 298 K?

My first impression was to use delta H= RT ln(Pf/Pi). However this is a real gas not an ideal gas so I'm guessing I need to integrate using delta g= Vdp. I'm just confused on how I would integrate this. Would I solve for the initial v and final v first? How would I go about that process? I'm not the best at calculus.

Thanks for any input you can give me.
